How to Make Simple Abalone Earrings

This is a simple method that can be used with practically any shell material! One of the reasons i love this process so much is that it only takes about thirty minutes from start to finish, which allows you to make a large quantity in practically no time at all! Another upside is the massive amount of flexibility, which allows you to come up with as much variety and detail as you can think of!

I kindly request information about the tool you are using. I am eager to start creating my daughter's Native American graduation stole for 2025. Thank you in advance.

Enjoyed watching your craftmanship. Were you using mineral oil as the lubricant for boring the holes?

[@Michael-lo3ht]

I like it better with the comments on what you're doing and why. I didn't see what you were using on the shell to sand or polish it? I guess I don't like the music on videos because with ear buds it's always louder than the person speaking. I'm still watching these to see how they are done. It's really cool. Thanks

What’s the little foam piece you used and what was in the bottle ? What type of tool did you use to saw ?

Hi Theo, what is the name of the tool you're using?

[@ryanflower5372]

How much does a rotary cutter cost roughly?

[@desireeschocko9126]

What are you using to polish the shell & sand down the rough edges?

[@TOMTHAKAT82]

USUALLY USE 800 GRADE SAND PAPER DOWN TO 400 ...FINE GRADE ..BUFFS IT OUT LIKE GLASS

USING A JEWLERS SAW ..IS WAY MORE EFFECTIVE &PRECISE CUTS

Whats the name of that machine?

[@TheoKellison]

I am using a rotary carver with a diamond cut off wheel, and some varying grits of sanding drums!

[@wandervalli7393]

Theo Kellison thank you :)

[@TheoKellison]

@@wandervalli7393 of course! Happy to help!😊

[@ZaneZiba]

@@TheoKellison would you mind telling me what brand?

[@mytvyoutube9927]

@@ZaneZiba I believe it’s called a foredom but couldn’t tell you the model. Multiple brands out there though.

[@Alisha-vy5lb]

No you don’t need a respirator to work with shells, they naturally have healing properties and won’t affect your breathing. If you’re sanding that’s a different story. I use shells daily on myself and my clients, never needed a respirator! 🤣

Looks like this guy isnt answering questions. same questions that i have so ill move on to the next one who is more engaged with subscribers. . . .

[@ekunina5410]

I grew up thinking abalone gave off poisonous grains. Maybe you wore a mask.

[@TheoKellison]

I was definitely wearing a mask, and you are absolutely right! Abalone dust is immensely toxic

[@salomegiafaglione6216]

Can I ask you what type of mask or what type of respirator Cartridge that you wear for protection? Thank you so much.
